Yucky Ol' Tube

Now you see it... Now you don't...
Look at this little chunky monkey!!
It was time to replace Owen's NG tube tonight... I hate to do it, it's horrible!! I removed the old one and gave him and his face a break from all the tape... then I got ready.
Take 1... I got it in place, ready to check to make sure it was in his tummy and he yanked it out. Darn he's a strong little buger.
Take 2... I got it in place, got the syringe and the stethescope, checked placement... GOOD... and then the tape on... YEAH!! Success! Thanks to daddy for holding down your arms, or else we would be on Take 3 or 4.
Then the screaming continued... and continued... and then he fell asleep with a full tummy (thank goodness for the tube!)
